It is Week 4 of the poll.

Pomperaug has displaced Tolland as the state's No. 1-ranked high girls cross country team, according to the latest coaches poll.

Pomperaug vaulted to the top spot by virtue of besting Tolland 55-80 at last weekend's Wickham Invitational on Manchester's famed Wickham park course.

Pomperaug received 12 of a possible 13 first-place votes. Tolland received the other.
